Ukrainian Americans will gather at St. Nicholas Church at 4 p.m. Sunday for a memorial service for protesters killed this week in Kiev, Ukraine.

Violence has flared in Ukraine in the past few months over Ukraine's future. Street protests erupted after President Viktor Yanukovych abruptly abandoned on Nov. 21 an agreement that would have strengthened ties to the European Union and moved instead to ally the nation more closely with Moscow.

On Friday, protest leaders and the president agreed to form a new government and hold an early election.

Following Sunday's memorial service, an update on the situation in Kiev will be offered in the church hall. The church is on the corner of 24th Street and Fourth Avenue.
